cue the english major panic

Oxford English Dictionary will not be printed again, will only be appearing in electronic form.

I... don't even...

Excuse me, I'm going to go off in a corner and cry re-evaluate my world-view for a few minutes.

Hold me?

A world without the OED in print, on paper. I don't know if I can handle this. I think I may need to work on my calligraphy or something, do an illuminated page to cope with my shock and horror, and thumb my nose at the modern world for a while.

It really is most disturbing.

It is! I used to have an online subscription to the OED through my university, but I always sort of treasured the idea of owning a physical copy once I had a permanent house.
